GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This board is designed to allow the user to evaluate the perfor-
mance of the
ADF4152HV
loops (PLLs). Figure 1 shows the board, which contains the
ADF4152HV
synthesizer, loop filter, voltage controlled oscillator
(VCO) of 1 GHz to 2 GHz octave range and up to 28 V high
tuning voltage, reference temperature controlled crystal oscillator
(TCXO) of 25 MHz frequency for the reference input, power
supply connectors, and a radio frequency (RF) output. The
ADF5001
prescaler allows optional direct connection of external
microwave VCOs without the need for an active loop filter.
The evaluation kit also contains software that is compatible with
Windows® XP and later versions to allow easy programming of
the synthesizer.
The PC must have a USB port to program the device.
